The Division Makes Its Way to the Tabletop Gaming World as a Brutally Tactical TTRPG

The intense world of Tom Clancy’s The Division will be adapted into a dice-based role-playing experience. A partnership was established to develop a TTRPG that explores the franchise’s apocalyptic landscape. The project was revealed, with a crowdfunding campaign planned to begin in April of 2026.

"This project will bring the franchise’s distinctive tension, strategic depth, and iconic world-building to the tabletop, providing fans a fresh avenue to experience The Division through deep narrative and mission-based gameplay," reads an announcement.

Initial offerings will include a beginner's box, core rulebooks, a GM screen, figurines, and several deluxe editions.

Development on the RPG has been in progress for approximately several years, and it is confirmed to be finished. The forthcoming crowdfunding effort will function as a preorder system to access a wider audience, specifically in North America. Manufacturing is slated to begin right after the fundraiser, with deliveries projected for later in 2026.

A Streamlined Tactical System: The GRIS System

A preview at the system confirms it employs d10s exclusively through its proprietary GRIS system, encouraging a streamlined and strategic style. Players leverage abilities to roll small dice pools, typically between one and five d10s.

• Rather than summing the total, participants choose a single “resolution die” from the group.
• This dice is then compared against a set challenge number.
• Rolling a natural 10 triggers additional bonuses, such as extra damage or enhanced aid.

A Thematic Health Mechanic

The way health is managed introduces a compelling narrative layer. Operatives have a injury limit; sustaining too much damage weakens their capabilities by decreasing the size of their dice pool.

2. They may still crawl and take limited actions, simulating the "downed" state seen in many shooter games.
3. Any player in this state must consult a trauma table, risking persistent effects like trauma or crippling injuries.

An Introductory Adventure

A publicly available introductory rulebook will be released in the near future. It contains a ready-to-play introductory scenario called Ashes of Murray Hill. In this mission, players lead the hunt for a lost doctor squad and must thwart an attack by the notorious Rikers faction, who have taken over that Manhattan district. More specifics and the complete product lineup are expected to be unveiled near the Kickstarter start date.
