Delving Into The Division's Apocalyptic World In this universe, a deadly virus known as Green Poison was unleashed in NYC, plunging the nation into turmoil. As the crisis escalates, society crumbles and violent factions emerge, turning the urban landscape into a battlefield. To restore order, the authorities {activate|deploy] The Division, a secret cell of sleeper agents. That’s where the players come in. Work on the RPG has been in progress for about several years, and it is reportedly complete. The upcoming crowdfunding effort will function as a pre-launch sales platform to access a broader audience, particularly in North America. Production is slated to begin right after the campaign, with shipping expected for later in 2026. A Streamlined Tactical System: The GRIS System An early look at the game's rules confirms it employs d10s predominantly through its proprietary GRIS system, promoting a fast-paced and strategic style. Agents leverage abilities to roll small dice pools, usually between one and five d10s. Instead of adding results together, players choose a single “resolution die” from the group. This dice is then compared against a target difficulty. Achieving a perfect 10 grants additional bonuses, such as increased harm or enhanced aid. Engagements Focus On Tactical Placement and Situational Insight Battles stress placement and situational awareness, mirroring the source material. Elements like taking cover, height advantage, or visibility directly influence success chances. This system is designed to reward coordination and clever tactics instead of raw numbers. A Thematic Health Mechanic The way injuries is managed adds a compelling narrative layer. Agents have a injury limit; taking heavy hits weakens their effectiveness by decreasing the size of their dice pool. At critical condition, an agent is downed, but they’re not unconscious. They can still move and take limited actions, emulating the "downed" state seen in video game shooters. Any agent knocked down must roll on a trauma table, potentially gaining lingering conditions like trauma or mobility-impairing wounds. An Introductory Scenario A free introductory rulebook is promised in the near future. It contains a pre-made starting adventure called Ashes of Murray Hill. In this scenario, the group lead the search for a lost doctor squad and work to stop an attack by the notorious Rikers faction, who have taken over that Manhattan district. More specifics and the complete product lineup are expected to be detailed near the Kickstarter start date.
