Tom Clancy's The Division Makes Its Way to the Tabletop as a Deeply Strategic Tabletop Role-Playing Game

The intense universe from Tom Clancy’s The Division will be translated into a tabletop role-playing experience. A partnership has been formed to develop a TTRPG that explores the series' apocalyptic landscape. This initiative was revealed, with a crowdfunding campaign scheduled to launch 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 deep narrative and player-driven missions," states an official release.

Initial offerings are set to feature a starter set, core rulebooks, a Game Master screen, miniatures, and several deluxe editions.

Delving Into The Division's Dystopian World

In this universe, a deadly virus known as Green Poison was released in NYC, sending the nation into chaos. As the pandemic worsens, civil order breaks down and violent factions emerge, turning the urban landscape into a warzone. To preserve order, the authorities {activate|deploy] The Division, a secret cell of sleeper agents. That’s where the agents come in.

Development on the RPG has been underway for about three years, and it is reportedly complete. The forthcoming Kickstarter campaign will function as a pre-launch sales platform to access a wider audience, particularly in North America. Manufacturing is slated to begin right after the campaign, with deliveries expected for the latter part of 2026.

A Streamlined Gameplay Mechanic: The GRIS System

A preview at the game's rules reveals it employs 10-sided dice predominantly through its new GRIS system, encouraging a streamlined and tactical style. Players use skills or traits to assemble a handful of dice, usually from one to five d10s.

• Rather than adding results together, participants select a single “result die” from the group.
• This dice is then compared against a set challenge number.
• Rolling a perfect 10 grants additional bonuses, such as increased harm or boosted support.

Combat Emphasize Positioning and Awareness

Battles stress placement and situational awareness, mirroring the video games. Factors like cover, height advantage, or visibility have a direct impact success chances. This system seems built to favor coordination and smart positioning over raw numbers.

A Thematic Health System

The way health is managed adds a compelling thematic twist. Agents have a wound threshold; sustaining too much damage reduces their effectiveness by lowering the number of d10s.

1. At zero health, an agent collapses, but is not knocked out.
2. They may still crawl and perform restricted acts, simulating the "downed" state seen in video game shooters.
3. Any agent in this state must consult a trauma table, potentially gaining persistent effects like shock or crippling injuries.

An Introductory Adventure

A free Quickstart Guide will be released in the near future. It contains a ready-to-play introductory scenario titled Ashes of Murray Hill. In this mission, players lead the search for a missing medical team and work to stop an attack by the notorious Rikers faction, who have seized control of that Manhattan district. More specifics and the complete product lineup will be detailed closer to the Kickstarter start date.
