Would you rather adventure and quest in the lands of a weak king or a strong king? What are the pros and cons of both?

Think about it for a second.

I want to adventure and quest in the lands of a cute and bratty queen or empress.
>>
>>97951220
Fair enough haha
>>
>>97951207
I'll adventure wherever theres money to be made. Weak king got more money in his lands cause hes failing his people ergo more problems. Hell give me a good price and I'll help with whatever plans there are to remove him.

Strong king has the benefit of contracts so a steady supply of those plus any odd jobs and I'm set quite nicely.

Why do you keep doing this shit puckee
>>
>>97951207
>Weak king
Pros: More nasty bandits & monsters to kill
Could start the game as hired caravan guards
Always a quest ready wherever you go
Court intrigue as people try to take control with force or charisma
Cons: Bad if the group doesn't want a high combat campaign
Probably a stronger kingdom will attack and that's a LOT of things to track in initiative
"Bandits again?"
>Strong King
Pros: safer roads so less random encounters
Less rival adventuring groups taking quests
Assassination plots and secret rebel groups to take down or join
Fighting & evading guards
Cons: Fighting & evading guards
Less random quests & side plots due to crackdowns
Probably bad for a group who like fighting dudes without political consequences
Political
"Soldiers again?"

Both can be very compelling if your DM is good. Both can be very shit if your DM is bad. I prefer weak king because in a past D&D game we were hired to be bodyguards for a very stabbable king and we managed to keep him alive and were honored with cash we then blew on food and pets

Sometimes I think about having you executed, just to see the expression on your face.
>>
>>97951241
I feel like it also depends on how Chaotic/Rebellious your party is.

After long and very careful deliberation, I, the Queen of England, have decided to extend the ransom money on...

...a big party. Just impossible to decide between my two faves, so I’ve decided to keep the cash, have a whizzy-jolly time and try to forget both of you. Hope you’re not too miffed. Byeeeeee!
>>
>>97951241
Another pro of a weak king is in theory you can insert into his court much easier by helping him out so much, he'd be indebted to you as he is potentially able to be built up and grows stronger.
>>
>>97951272
I figure overall a a kingdom with a weak king is much more serviceable to adventurers, maybe not so much the common folk though.

>quest
Those were banned from /tg/ in 2018.
>>
>>97951761
It's what the PCs do in Tabletop games.
>>
>>97951207
I would rather you kill yourself.
>>
>>97952046
No, they do everything but quest, because quests aren't /tg/.
>>
>>97952203
Do you not go on quests in TTRPGs you play. Like a quest to save the princess etc?
>>
>>97951207
Wait, is OP pic meant to represent a strong king or a weak king?

Which king shares my opinions? That is the one I shall serve alongside.

>>97952624
Who would be easier to deal with? A weak king would be more amenable to suggestions imo.

No, because quests aren't /tg/. We exiled those obnoxious fuckers for a reason.

A strong king would get in my business too much. Plus, there would be less monsters to steal back stolen stuff from. Weak king all the way.

>>97951272
It seems weak kings are better for adventurers
