The first thought to pop into my head was T-SHIRT but then that was smacked away by the weird idea of a printed tablecloth. Not the slippery plastic, saran wrap thickness kind that flap around your knees and bug you, making you think that something (very lightweight) has landed on your knees. Although maybe with pockets that hang down by your knees for holding cell phones (and cards for cheaters). See, I play on crappy tables -- no I don't play games at home! -- with grackle poop and sticky spots and flattened crumbs. Or big gaps in the picnic-table slats or those coated holey grids of public park tables and benches. And bite marks and burn marks and peeling wood-grain laminate and carvings like the curiously blocky word BOOK, and gum although that's usually under the table. Plus unsightly rings that mean a condensation-ridden cup or can or bottle sat there too long, although I've always considered them sort of tabletop crop circles.Or we have two tables pushed together and they're never the same height and make a gully that sucks game pieces into it. So I wish for a multi-sizing custom tablecloth with cool graphics (won't be hard based on those time lapse videos!...ha - I typed time "laps" by mistake). Shrinkage controlled, with free bonus long slide-on clips that hold the cloth down in the wind but then spring off at random times. Hey, and speaking of godawful uncomfortable chairs -- well, I mentioned benches once, see above -- sports-arena-style seat cushions would be good, too. And it is too game-related; it's not like I'm suggesting aprons or pillowcases. But maybe you meant virtual products, if so, oh well. I'm still in Christmas wish list mode of thinking. And I want...and I want...and I want. But "want not, want not," as they say.

I never would have thought of that...

Sports stadium-style seat cushions is an interesting idea, but I really like the tablecloth.  A tablecloth for gamers is a really cool idea.  Now it's just a matter of figuring out how to produce it...

 

...And we're looking for virtual and real-world product ideas, so virtually all suggestions are welcome.
