The intense world of Tom Clancy’s The Division will be translated into a dice-based role-playing experience. A collaboration was established to develop a tabletop RPG set within the franchise’s post-pandemic landscape. The project was revealed, with a crowdfunding campaign scheduled to begin in April of 2026.

"This endeavor will bring the series' unique suspense, strategic depth, and iconic world-building to the table, offering fans a fresh avenue to engage with The Division through deep narrative and player-driven missions," reads an announcement.

Launch products will include a beginner's box, core rulebooks, a GM screen, figurines, and several premium versions.

Delving Into The Division's Dystopian World

In this universe, a lethal pathogen called Green Poison was unleashed in NYC, sending the nation into turmoil. As the crisis escalates, civil order breaks down and hostile groups emerge, turning the city into a warzone. To preserve law and order, the authorities {activate|deploy] The Division, a secret cell of undercover operatives. That’s where the players come in.

Work on the RPG has been in progress for approximately several years, and it is reportedly finished. The forthcoming crowdfunding effort will serve as a pre-launch sales platform to access a wider audience, specifically in North America. Manufacturing will start immediately following the campaign, with shipping expected for later in 2026.

A Streamlined Gameplay Mechanic: The GRIS System

A preview at the system confirms it uses d10s exclusively through its proprietary GRIS system, promoting a fast-paced and strategic approach. Players use abilities to assemble small dice pools, typically from one to five d10s.

• Instead of adding results together, participants choose a single “resolution die” from the pool.
• This dice is then measured against a target difficulty.
• Achieving a natural 10 grants additional bonuses, such as increased harm or boosted support.

Engagements Focus On Positioning and Situational Insight

Fights prioritize placement and situational awareness, mirroring the video games. Elements like cover, elevation, or line of sight directly influence success chances. This mechanic is designed to favor teamwork and clever tactics instead of raw numbers.

A Thematic Wound Mechanic

The way injuries is tracked introduces a interesting thematic twist. Operatives have a injury limit; sustaining too much damage reduces their effectiveness by decreasing the number of d10s.

1. At critical condition, an operative is downed, but they’re not knocked out.
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 injury chart, risking lingering conditions like trauma or crippling injuries.

An Introductory Scenario

A publicly available Quickstart Guide will be released in the near future. It contains a pre-made starting adventure called Ashes of Murray Hill. In this scenario, the group spearhead the hunt for a missing medical team and work to stop an assault by the notorious Rikers gang, who have seized control of that NYC neighborhood. More specifics and the complete product lineup are expected to be unveiled near the campaign launch.
