Sure, this poll is a bit limited in that it's only open to authors, although players who hope to or plan to become authors can also voice their thoughts too. There are probably dozens of possible reasons that authors make table, and specifically the particular tables they make. For some it might be an ego boost, for others a creative outlet, still others may enjoy the challenge. For me, it's a combination of all those things, plus a sense of history.
So what I'd like would be not only for authors to mark the poll choices, but to post a short explaination of why you got started, your motivation, and what keeps you making and releasing tables. I got started because Druadic/Will, got tired of hearing all my ideas, and basically told me to put up or shut up. Through working with a series of partners, I've finally gotten to the point where I can actually get some tables finished on my own. And I make flipperless and counter tops mainly because those are my favorites, and if I dind't make them, there wouldn't be very many of them to play.
