🔗 Share this article The Division Makes Its Way to the Tabletop Gaming World as a Deeply Strategic TTRPG The gritty world of Tom Clancy’s The Division will be translated into a dice-based role-playing experience. A partnership was established to develop a TTRPG that explores the franchise’s post-pandemic setting. The project was revealed, with a crowdfunding campaign planned to launch in April of 2026. "This endeavor will bring the franchise’s distinctive tension, tactical intensity, and memorable setting to the tabletop, offering fans a new way to experience The Division through deep narrative and mission-based gameplay," reads an announcement. Launch products will include a starter set, core rulebooks, a GM screen, figurines, and several premium versions. Exploring The Division's Apocalyptic World In this setting, a lethal pathogen known as Green Poison was released in NYC, sending the United States into turmoil. As the pandemic escalates, society crumbles and hostile groups emerge, transforming the city into a battlefield. To preserve law and order, the government {activate|deploy] The Division, a secret cell of undercover operatives. This is where the players enter the story. Development on the game has been underway for about three years, and it is reportedly complete. The upcoming Kickstarter campaign will function as a preorder system to access a broader market, particularly in North America. Manufacturing will start right after the campaign, with shipping projected for the latter part of 2026. A Streamlined Gameplay Mechanic: The GRIS System A preview at the system confirms it employs 10-sided dice exclusively through its new GRIS system, encouraging a fast-paced and strategic style. Players leverage skills or traits to roll a handful of dice, typically from one to five d10s. Instead of summing the total, participants select a single “resolution die” from the group. This dice is then measured against a target difficulty. Achieving a perfect 10 grants special effects, such as increased harm or boosted support. Engagements Emphasize Tactical Placement and Situational Insight Battles prioritize positioning and environmental awareness, reflecting the source material. Elements like taking cover, height advantage, or visibility have a direct impact success chances. This mechanic seems built to favor coordination and smart positioning over simple statistics. A Thematic Wound System The way health is managed introduces a interesting thematic twist. Operatives have a wound threshold; sustaining too much damage reduces their capabilities by lowering the size of their dice pool. At zero health, an operative collapses, but is not knocked out. They may still crawl and perform restricted acts, emulating the "downed" state common to video game shooters. Any player knocked down must consult a trauma table, risking lingering conditions like shock or crippling injuries. An Introductory Scenario A free introductory rulebook is promised in the near future. It includes a pre-made starting adventure called Ashes of Murray Hill. In this mission, players spearhead the search for a lost doctor squad and work to stop an assault by the notorious Rikers faction, who have seized control of that Manhattan district. More specifics and the complete product lineup are expected to be detailed near the campaign launch.
