Tom Clancy's The Division Is Coming to the Tabletop as a Deeply Strategic TTRPG

The intense world of Tom Clancy’s The Division will be translated into a dice-based role-playing experience. A partnership has been formed to create a TTRPG set within the series' post-pandemic landscape.

Work on the game has been underway for approximately several years, and it is confirmed to be complete. The upcoming Kickstarter campaign will serve as a preorder system to access a wider market, particularly in North America. Production will start right after the campaign, with deliveries projected for the latter part of 2026.

A Streamlined Gameplay Mechanic: The GRIS System

An early look at the system confirms it employs d10s exclusively through its proprietary GRIS system, encouraging a streamlined and tactical style. Agents use skills or traits to assemble small dice pools, typically between one and five d10s.

More specifics and the full range of offerings will be unveiled closer to the campaign launch.
