Tom Clancy's The Division Makes Its Way to the Tabletop Gaming World as a Brutally Tactical TTRPG

The intense world of Tom Clancy’s The Division is being translated into a dice-based role-playing experience. A collaboration has been formed to create a TTRPG that explores the series' post-pandemic landscape. This initiative has been announced, with a funding drive planned to launch in the spring of 2026.

"This project aims to deliver the franchise’s distinctive tension, strategic depth, and memorable setting to the tabletop, offering fans a new way to engage with The Division through deep narrative and mission-based gameplay," states an announcement.

Launch products will include a beginner's box, core rulebooks, a Game Master screen, miniatures, and various premium versions.

Development on the game has been underway for approximately three years, and it is confirmed to be finished. The upcoming crowdfunding effort will serve as a pre-launch sales platform to reach a wider audience, specifically in the United States. Production is slated to begin immediately following the fundraiser, with deliveries projected for the latter part of 2026.

A Streamlined Tactical System: The GRIS System

A preview at the system reveals it uses d10s predominantly through its new GRIS system, promoting a streamlined and strategic style. Agents leverage abilities to assemble small dice pools, typically from one to five d10s.

Combat Emphasize Tactical Placement and Situational Insight

Battles stress placement and environmental awareness, mirroring the source material. Factors like taking cover, height advantage, or visibility have a direct impact dice rolls. This mechanic seems built to favor teamwork and smart positioning instead of raw numbers.

A Thematic Wound System

The way health is tracked introduces a interesting narrative layer. Operatives have a wound threshold; sustaining too much damage weakens their capabilities by decreasing the number of d10s.

An Introductory Scenario

A publicly available Quickstart Guide is promised soon. It contains a ready-to-play starting adventure titled Ashes of Murray Hill. In this mission, players spearhead the hunt for a lost doctor squad and work to stop an assault by the violent Rikers faction, who have taken over that NYC neighborhood. More specifics and the full range of offerings will be unveiled closer to the campaign launch.
