Tom Clancy's The Division Makes Its Way to the Tabletop Gaming World as a Brutally Tactical Tabletop Role-Playing Game

The intense world of Tom Clancy’s The Division is being adapted into a dice-based role-playing experience. A collaboration was established to create a tabletop RPG that explores the series' apocalyptic setting. The project was revealed, with a funding drive scheduled to launch in April of 2026.

"This endeavor aims to deliver the series' unique suspense, tactical intensity, and iconic world-building to the table, offering fans a new way to engage with The Division through immersive storytelling and mission-based gameplay," states an official release.

Launch products will include a starter set, core rulebooks, a GM screen, figurines, and several deluxe editions.

Delving Into The Division's Apocalyptic World

In this setting, a lethal pathogen known as Green Poison was unleashed in New York City, plunging the United States into chaos. As the crisis worsens, society crumbles and violent factions rise, turning the city into a warzone. To preserve order, the authorities {activate|deploy] The Division, a covert network of sleeper agents. That’s where the agents come in.

Development on the game has been underway for approximately several years, and it is confirmed to be complete. The forthcoming Kickstarter campaign will serve as a preorder system to reach a broader audience, particularly in North America. Manufacturing will start immediately following the campaign, with shipping expected for later in 2026.

An Innovative Gameplay Mechanic: The GRIS System

A preview at the game's rules reveals it employs d10s predominantly through its proprietary GRIS system, encouraging a streamlined and strategic approach. Agents use skills or traits to roll a handful of dice, typically from one to five d10s.

• Instead of adding results together, players select a single “result die” from the pool.
• This dice is then compared against a set challenge number.
• Achieving a natural 10 triggers additional bonuses, such as increased harm or enhanced aid.

Engagements Focus On Tactical Placement and Awareness

Battles stress placement and environmental awareness, reflecting the video games. Factors like cover, height advantage, or visibility have a direct impact dice rolls. This system seems built to reward coordination and clever tactics over simple statistics.

A Thematic Wound Mechanic

The way health is tracked adds a compelling narrative layer. Agents have a injury limit; taking heavy hits weakens their effectiveness by lowering the size of their dice pool.

1. At zero health, an operative is downed, but they’re not unconscious.
2. They can still crawl and perform restricted acts, simulating the "downed" state seen in many shooter games.
3. Any player knocked down must roll on a trauma table, potentially gaining persistent effects like shock or mobility-impairing wounds.

An Introductory Scenario

A publicly available introductory rulebook will be released in the near future. It includes a ready-to-play introductory scenario called Ashes of Murray Hill. In this mission, the group lead the search for a missing medical team and must thwart an attack by the notorious Rikers faction, who have seized control of that NYC neighborhood. Further information and the complete product lineup are expected to be detailed closer to the campaign launch.
