Tom Clancy's The Division Is Coming to the Tabletop Gaming World as a Deeply Strategic TTRPG
The intense universe from Tom Clancy’s The Division will be adapted into a tabletop role-playing experience. A collaboration has been formed to create a TTRPG set within the series' apocalyptic landscape. This initiative was revealed, with a crowdfunding campaign planned to launch in April of 2026.
"This project aims to deliver the series' unique suspense, tactical intensity, and memorable setting to the table, offering fans a new way to engage with The Division through deep narrative and player-driven missions," reads an official release.

Exploring The Division's Dystopian World
In this universe, a deadly virus known as Green Poison was released in NYC, plunging the United States into turmoil. As the pandemic worsens, civil order breaks down and violent factions rise, turning the city into a battlefield. To preserve order, the authorities {activate|deploy] The Division, a secret cell of sleeper agents. This is where the players enter the story.
Work on the RPG has been in progress for about three years, and it is confirmed to be complete. The forthcoming crowdfunding effort will serve as a pre-launch sales platform to reach a wider audience, particularly in North America. Production will start immediately following the campaign, with deliveries projected for the latter part of 2026.
An Innovative Gameplay Mechanic: The GRIS System
An early look at the game's rules reveals it employs d10s predominantly through its new GRIS system, encouraging a streamlined and strategic approach. Agents leverage skills or traits to assemble small dice pools, usually between one and five d10s.
- Rather than adding results together, players choose a single “resolution die” from the group.
- This dice is then compared against a target difficulty.
- Achieving a natural 10 triggers special effects, such as increased harm or boosted support.
Engagements Emphasize Tactical Placement and Situational Insight
Battles stress placement and environmental awareness, mirroring the video games. Factors like cover, elevation, or line of sight directly influence dice rolls. This system is designed to reward coordination and smart positioning instead of simple statistics.
A Novel Health Mechanic
The way injuries is tracked adds a interesting thematic twist. Agents have a injury limit; taking heavy hits weakens their capabilities by lowering the size of their dice pool.
- At critical condition, an agent collapses, but they’re not unconscious.
- They may still crawl and perform restricted acts, simulating the last stand seen in many shooter games.
- Any agent in this state must consult a trauma table, risking lingering conditions like trauma or mobility-impairing wounds.
