Tom Clancy's The Division Is Coming to the Tabletop as a Deeply Strategic Tabletop Role-Playing Game

The gritty world of Tom Clancy’s The Division will be translated into a dice-based role-playing experience. A partnership has been formed to develop a tabletop RPG that explores the series' apocalyptic setting. The project was revealed, with a funding drive planned to begin in the spring of 2026.

"This endeavor will bring the series' unique suspense, tactical intensity, and iconic world-building to the tabletop, providing fans a fresh avenue to experience The Division through immersive storytelling and mission-based gameplay," reads an announcement.

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

Delving Into The Division's Apocalyptic World

As the pandemic escalates, society crumbles and hostile groups rise, turning the urban landscape into a warzone. To restore law and order, the authorities {activate|deploy] The Division, a secret cell of undercover operatives. This is where the players enter the story.

Work on the game has been underway for about three years, and it is reportedly complete. The forthcoming crowdfunding effort will serve as a preorder system to access a broader audience, specifically in North America. Production will start right after the campaign, with shipping projected for later in 2026.

A Streamlined Tactical System: The GRIS System

An early look at the game's rules reveals it uses 10-sided dice exclusively through its proprietary GRIS system, promoting a fast-paced and strategic style. Agents use abilities to assemble small dice pools, typically from one to five d10s.

• Instead of summing the total, players select a single “resolution die” from the pool.
• This die is then measured against a target difficulty.
• Rolling a perfect 10 grants additional bonuses, such as extra damage or enhanced aid.

Engagements Emphasize Positioning and Awareness

Fights stress placement and environmental awareness, reflecting the video games. Factors like cover, elevation, or visibility have a direct impact success chances. This mechanic seems built to reward teamwork and smart positioning over raw numbers.

A Thematic Health System

The way health is managed introduces a interesting thematic twist. Agents have a wound threshold; sustaining too much damage weakens their capabilities by decreasing the size of their dice pool.

1. At critical condition, an operative is downed, but they’re not unconscious.
2. They may still move and take limited actions, simulating the "downed" state common to many shooter games.
3. Any agent in this state must consult a trauma table, risking persistent effects like trauma or mobility-impairing wounds.

An Introductory Adventure

A publicly available Quickstart Guide is promised in the near future. It contains a pre-made starting adventure titled Ashes of Murray Hill. In this scenario, the group lead the hunt for a missing medical team and must thwart an attack by the notorious Rikers faction, who have seized control of that NYC neighborhood. More specifics and the full range of offerings are expected to be detailed closer to the campaign launch.
