The gritty universe from Tom Clancy’s The Division is being adapted into a dice-based role-playing experience. A partnership has been formed to create a TTRPG set within the franchise’s post-pandemic setting. This initiative has been announced, with a funding drive scheduled 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 new way to experience The Division through immersive storytelling and player-driven missions," reads an official release.

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

Exploring The Division's Dystopian World

In this universe, a deadly virus called Green Poison was released in NYC, sending the nation into turmoil. As the crisis escalates, civil order breaks down and hostile groups emerge, turning the city into a battlefield. To preserve law and order, the government {activate|deploy] The Division, a covert network of undercover operatives. This is where the agents enter the story.

Development on the RPG has been underway for approximately several years, and it is confirmed to be complete. The forthcoming crowdfunding effort will serve as a preorder system to reach a broader market, specifically in the United States. Manufacturing is slated to begin right after the fundraiser, with shipping projected for later in 2026.

An Innovative Gameplay Mechanic: The GRIS System

A preview at the game's rules reveals it employs 10-sided dice exclusively through its proprietary GRIS system, promoting a streamlined and strategic approach. Agents leverage abilities to roll a handful of dice, typically between one and five d10s.

• Rather than adding results together, participants choose a single “result die” from the pool.
• This die is then compared against a set challenge number.
• Rolling a natural 10 triggers special effects, such as extra damage or boosted support.

Combat Focus On Tactical Placement and Awareness

Battles prioritize positioning and environmental awareness, mirroring the source material. Elements like taking cover, height advantage, or line of sight directly influence dice rolls. This mechanic is designed to reward coordination and clever tactics over simple statistics.

A Thematic Wound System

The way health is managed introduces a interesting thematic twist. Agents have a wound threshold; taking heavy hits reduces their effectiveness by decreasing the size of their dice pool.

1. At zero health, an operative is downed, but they’re not unconscious.
2. They can still crawl and take limited actions, emulating the last stand seen in video game shooters.
3. Any player knocked down must consult a injury chart, potentially gaining lingering conditions like shock or crippling injuries.

An Introductory Adventure

A free Quickstart Guide will be released in the near future. It contains a ready-to-play introductory scenario titled Ashes of Murray Hill. In this scenario, players spearhead the hunt for a lost doctor squad and work to stop an attack by the violent Rikers faction, who have taken over that Manhattan district. More specifics and the complete product lineup will be unveiled closer to the Kickstarter start date.
