This table covering is one I did specifically for remote gaming, and now that it's done, I am actually going to make the grid much heavier. More on that later. As you might recall, for my FTF TTS/FK&P games, the grid is almost imperceptible, with just the corners of the grid being marked with a small dot. That is much to subtle for gaming via video, though.
