The intense universe from Tom Clancy’s The Division is being translated into a dice-based role-playing experience. A collaboration was established to create a TTRPG that explores the series' apocalyptic landscape. The project has been announced, with a crowdfunding campaign planned to launch in the spring of 2026.

"This project will bring the series' unique suspense, tactical intensity, and memorable setting to the table, providing fans a fresh avenue to experience The Division through immersive storytelling and player-driven missions," states an official release.

Launch products are set to feature a beginner's box, essential manuals, a GM screen, figurines, and various deluxe editions.

In this setting, a lethal pathogen known as Green Poison was released in NYC, plunging the nation into turmoil. As the pandemic worsens, civil order breaks down and hostile groups emerge, turning the city into a battlefield. To restore law and order, the authorities {activate|deploy] The Division, a secret cell of undercover operatives. This is where the agents enter the story.

Development on the game has been underway for approximately several years, and it is reportedly complete. The forthcoming crowdfunding effort will function as a preorder system to reach a broader market, specifically in North America. Manufacturing is slated to begin immediately following the campaign, with shipping expected for the latter part of 2026.

An Innovative Tactical System: The GRIS System

An early look at the game's rules confirms it employs d10s predominantly through its proprietary GRIS system, encouraging a streamlined and strategic approach. Agents use abilities to roll a handful of dice, typically from one to five d10s.

• Rather than summing the total, participants select a single “result die” from the group.
• This dice is then compared against a target difficulty.
• Achieving a natural 10 triggers additional bonuses, such as extra damage or boosted support.

Combat Emphasize Positioning and Awareness

Fights prioritize placement and environmental awareness, mirroring the source material. Elements like taking cover, height advantage, or visibility have a direct impact success chances. This mechanic is designed to reward coordination and smart positioning instead of simple statistics.

A Novel Health System

The way injuries is managed adds a interesting thematic twist. Agents have a injury limit; sustaining too much damage reduces their capabilities by decreasing the size of their dice pool.

2. They may still crawl and take limited actions, simulating the last stand common to video game shooters.
3. Any agent in this state must consult a injury chart, risking persistent effects like trauma or mobility-impairing wounds.

An Introductory Adventure

A publicly available introductory rulebook is promised in the near future. It includes a pre-made starting adventure called Ashes of Murray Hill. In this mission, players spearhead the search for a lost doctor squad and must thwart an assault by the violent Rikers gang, who have taken over that Manhattan district. Further information and the complete product lineup are expected to be detailed closer to the campaign launch.
