🔗 Share this article Tom Clancy's The Division Is Coming to the Tabletop as a Deeply Strategic TTRPG The intense world of Tom Clancy’s The Division is being adapted into a tabletop role-playing experience. A collaboration was established to create a TTRPG set within the series' post-pandemic setting. The project has been announced, with a funding drive scheduled to begin in April of 2026. "This project will bring the franchise’s distinctive tension, strategic depth, and memorable setting to the tabletop, providing fans a fresh avenue to experience The Division through immersive storytelling and mission-based gameplay," states an official release. Initial offerings will include a starter set, core rulebooks, a Game Master screen, figurines, and several premium versions. Exploring The Division's Apocalyptic World In this setting, a lethal pathogen known as Green Poison was unleashed in NYC, plunging the United States into turmoil. As the crisis worsens, society crumbles and hostile groups emerge, turning the city into a battlefield. To restore law and order, the authorities {activate|deploy] The Division, a covert network of undercover operatives. That’s where the players come in. Work on the game has been in progress for about several years, and it is reportedly complete. The upcoming crowdfunding effort will function as a pre-launch sales platform to reach a wider audience, specifically in the United States. Production is slated to begin right after the campaign, with shipping projected for later in 2026. A Streamlined Gameplay Mechanic: The GRIS System A preview at the system confirms it employs d10s exclusively through its proprietary GRIS system, promoting a streamlined and strategic approach. Agents leverage skills or traits to roll small dice pools, usually between one and five d10s. Instead of summing the total, players choose a single “resolution die” from the group. This die is then compared against a target difficulty. Achieving a perfect 10 grants additional bonuses, such as increased harm or enhanced aid. Engagements Emphasize Positioning and Awareness Fights prioritize positioning and situational awareness, reflecting the video games. Elements like taking cover, height advantage, or visibility have a direct impact dice rolls. This mechanic is designed to favor coordination and clever tactics instead of raw numbers. A Novel Health Mechanic The way health is managed introduces a interesting narrative layer. Agents have a injury limit; sustaining too much damage reduces their effectiveness by decreasing the size of their dice pool. At critical condition, an operative is downed, but is not unconscious. They can still move and take limited actions, simulating the "downed" state common to video game shooters. Any player knocked down must consult a injury chart, risking persistent effects like shock or crippling injuries. An Introductory Scenario A publicly available introductory rulebook will be released in the near future. It contains a pre-made starting adventure titled Ashes of Murray Hill. In this mission, players lead the search for a lost doctor squad and must thwart an assault by the notorious Rikers faction, who have seized control of that Manhattan district. More specifics and the complete product lineup will be detailed near the campaign launch.
