The gritty world of Tom Clancy’s The Division will be adapted into a dice-based role-playing experience. A collaboration has been formed to develop a TTRPG set within the franchise’s apocalyptic landscape. This initiative has been announced, with a funding drive scheduled to begin in the spring of 2026.

"This endeavor aims to deliver the franchise’s distinctive tension, strategic depth, and memorable setting to the tabletop, offering fans a new way to experience The Division through immersive storytelling and mission-based gameplay," reads an announcement.

Launch products will include a beginner's box, essential manuals, a Game Master screen, figurines, and several deluxe editions.

Exploring The Division's Apocalyptic World

In this universe, a lethal pathogen called Green Poison was unleashed in New York City, sending the United States into chaos. As the crisis escalates, civil order breaks down and hostile groups emerge, transforming the urban landscape into a battlefield. To restore law and order, the government {activate|deploy] The Division, a secret cell of sleeper agents. This is where the agents enter the story.

Development on the RPG has been in progress for approximately several years, and it is confirmed to be finished. The forthcoming Kickstarter campaign will serve as a pre-launch sales platform to reach a wider market, particularly in North America. Production is slated to begin immediately following the fundraiser, with shipping expected for the latter part of 2026.

An Innovative Tactical System: The GRIS System

An early look at the game's rules reveals it employs d10s exclusively through its proprietary GRIS system, encouraging a fast-paced and tactical approach. Players leverage skills or traits to assemble a handful of dice, usually between one and five d10s.

• Instead of summing the total, participants choose a single “resolution die” from the pool.
• This dice is then compared against a set challenge number.
• Rolling a natural 10 grants additional bonuses, such as extra damage or boosted support.

Engagements Focus On Positioning and Awareness

Battles stress positioning and situational awareness, reflecting the source material. Factors like taking cover, elevation, or visibility have a direct impact dice rolls. This system seems built to favor coordination and clever tactics over raw numbers.

A Thematic Wound System

The way injuries is tracked adds a interesting narrative layer. Agents have a wound threshold; sustaining too much damage weakens their capabilities by decreasing the number of d10s.

1. At critical condition, an agent is downed, but is not unconscious.
2. They may still move and take limited actions, emulating the "downed" state seen in video game shooters.
3. Any agent knocked down must consult a trauma table, risking persistent effects like trauma or mobility-impairing wounds.

An Introductory Scenario

A free introductory rulebook is promised soon. It contains a ready-to-play starting adventure called Ashes of Murray Hill. In this scenario, players spearhead the search for a lost doctor squad and must thwart an assault by the violent Rikers gang, who have taken over that NYC neighborhood. Further information and the complete product lineup are expected to be detailed near the campaign launch.
