I'd like to think of myself as an average TPA gamer. I don't have a lot of spending money, so I have a hard time putting money towards TPA Kickstarters. I think the biggest fault of the TPA Kickstarters are the weak rewards. If the rewards were to improve, I think it would have great benefits for those tables.In the past, the only decent reward I've seen was TAF Gold. I'm somewhat of a completist, and was tempted. But at $100, it was just a bit too much for me. I think $50 would have been the highest I would have gone. The beta reward was also a nice idea, but it didn't appeal to me. And the special TAF balls sounded neat, but I only play with just the standard ball.The biggest reason people pledge is because they want the Kickstarter to happen. I put in $1, just because. But unless there was a risk that the table wouldn't happen, I probably won't pledge more then that.The second biggest reason people pledge is to get something cool that they normally wouldn't be able to get (or to get a deal, but that doesn't really apply in this case).The lower tiers get me the game. But as I'd be buying the season passes anyway, I'm not interested in that. I also have no interest in my name in the game, special tournaments, or wallpapers.I don't have use for the mid tier rewards; prints, shirts, or hoodies.The higher tier rewards give you an invitation to a party, which I would never attend.So, what rewards would be good to add? How about a TPA seasons 1-5 box set containing a physical copy of the game and other goodies? How about a neat pinball themed bottle opener (maybe it has one of those simple little pinball toys, with an opener on one end, or just a simple one shaped as a flipper or bumper)? How about a pinball toy Christmas tree ornament? Pinball night light? How about a simple extra table that's not in TPA, like the 1932 Play Boy? But don't price people out like the TAF Gold. Unless it's something really cool that's worth it.
