Delving Into The Division's Apocalyptic World In this universe, a deadly virus called Green Poison was released in New York City, sending the nation into chaos. As the pandemic escalates, society crumbles and hostile groups emerge, transforming the city into a warzone. To restore law and order, the authorities {activate|deploy] The Division, a covert network of sleeper agents. This is where the players enter the story. Work on the RPG has been underway for about three years, and it is reportedly finished. The upcoming crowdfunding effort will serve as a pre-launch sales platform to reach a broader audience, particularly in the United States. Production is slated to begin right after the fundraiser, with shipping expected for later in 2026. An Innovative Gameplay Mechanic: The GRIS System An early look at the game's rules reveals it uses 10-sided dice predominantly through its proprietary GRIS system, encouraging a fast-paced and strategic approach. Agents use skills or traits to assemble small dice pools, typically from one to five d10s. Instead of summing the total, participants choose a single “result die” from the pool. This dice is then compared against a target difficulty. Rolling a perfect 10 grants special effects, such as increased harm or boosted support. Engagements Focus On Tactical Placement and Situational Insight Fights stress placement and environmental awareness, mirroring the video games. Elements like taking cover, elevation, or line of sight have a direct impact success chances. This mechanic is designed to favor coordination and clever tactics instead of raw numbers. A Thematic Health Mechanic The way injuries is managed adds a compelling thematic twist. Agents have a wound threshold; taking heavy hits reduces their capabilities by lowering the size of their dice pool. At zero health, an operative collapses, but they’re not unconscious. They can still move and perform restricted acts, simulating the "downed" state seen in video game shooters. Any agent in this state must consult a injury chart, risking persistent effects like trauma or crippling injuries. A Ready-to-Play Scenario A publicly available Quickstart Guide is promised in the near future. It contains a ready-to-play starting adventure titled Ashes of Murray Hill. In this mission, players lead the search for a missing medical team and must thwart an assault by the violent Rikers faction, who have seized control of that Manhattan district. More specifics and the full range of offerings are expected to be detailed near the Kickstarter start date.
