Well, it was bound to happen. My all-time favorite Trading Card Game, the VS System, is no longer being supported by Upper Deck Entertainment.
For those who may not be familiar with the VS System, it is a very adaptable TCG system that used licensed characters from Marvel and DC comics, as well as a special edition Hellboy set.
Great system + comic book characters = win!
Of course, my gaming group and I will continue to play this game, even without any support or new releases. We like it quite a bit, and there are plenty of card sets out there filled with combinations we haven't tried yet.
What seems odd to me about the whole thing is that the game seemed to be selling pretty well. In fact, the biggest complaint I've heard is that Upper Deck tended to under-print its card sets. I realize UDE wants to support its World of Warcraft TCG (which is not selling well here in the Cleveland area), but did it have to end VS System to do so?
In any case, I raise my PBR can in a toast of remembrance of yet another good game system biting the dust.
C'est la vie.

It's a bit of a drive, but I'm currently living in Geneva
I know where that is. I lived pretty close to Geneva for a few years (2004-2007) in Roaming Shores until I got married. I live by Kent now, but I still have the property up there. We try to hit Geneva on the Lake at least once each summer.
