Regardless of context, if someone acts like a mean girl, that person is someone you don't want around.

Immortal vampires don't need heirs... they don't die, and Strahd literally can't quit

What does Strahd need with an heir? The dude is immortal. Barovia is his and his forever in his mind. To Strahd it's all or nothing. He would rather Barovia be turned to ash than himself not ruling it.

Damn, if the DM's only options for a ""good ending"" was either... THAT or killing off a player's character because it goes off her raiload, OP didn't just dodge a bullet, he dodged a coordinated tactical strike from multiple armed forces.

Edited for clarity:The only interest Strahd has romantically is in his beloved.   You could justify interest by having one of your players agree to be the reincarnation of said beloved with all the potential baggage that comes with disclosed, but getting pregnant by strahd would be the bad ending, regardless of how consensual it is.  Strahd is a possessive man who is willing to do anything to get what he wants, and the idea that a D.M. would put rizzing him up as the requirement for a good ending shows that the D.M. sees strahd as a "misunderstood" owo edgeboy.  That not dodging a bullet, that's getting laid off days before the Chernobyl meltdown.

Strahd already has 4 consorts, he doesn't want nor need an heir. The module deals with themes of abuse, isolation, obession, and control over people.

The only "good" ending is a dead Strahd and the party leaving his cursed lands, bettered yet scarred.

Squick is actually less extreme than triggered. Its basically a way of saying "I don't like this topic and imma avoid it" as opposed to trigger saying "This topic gives me anxiety and WE need to avoid it"

While I don't have played CoS, I can say with 100% certainty that getting pregnant is not a good ending, not even part of the module.
Strahd is the VILLAIN of the module, a rather vile one at that, with an incredibly unhealthy obsession for his love.

I initially thought OP was in the wrong and it wouldn't be the first time we got a horror story from the PoV of the instigator. Then the other shoe dropped and yeah, they escaped from an actually cursed place

8:38 Incorrect!  A squick is very different from a trigger.  A trigger is something that brings up memories of past traumas.  A squick is something you find kind of gross or unpleasant; something you'd prefer not to have to deal with but it's not going to send you into a panic attack if you encounter it

'Squick' isn't being triggered but cute about it, it's a separate term from 'trigger' altogether, it means something you want to avoid but doesn't cause emotional or mental distress. It's like, thinking bugs are gross versus having arachnophobia.

Curse of Strahd is very open-ended with how the players can proceed, but I don't think an heir is a way that'll end well, assuming we even allow a vampire to go... that route.

Strahd may be looking for someone to be an equal or able to inherit his domain (among other goals), but it's written in the module that he eventually finds fault with the party and in turn is a problem to remove.

"You can either go to chick fill a in the trunk or the passenger seat," is the funniest thing to me

Look, I know that vampire lore has been malleable over the centuries, but I'm pretty sure that one of the hard and fast rules of vampirism in D&D is that vampires CANNOT have children. At all. So even if Strahd wanted an heir (which is incredibly unlikely) he would not be able to sire one from his own bloodline. And, since he's killed everyone who was related to him, he would have to settle for adoption.

Drake, i have that nuclear warhead you wanted. Do you want me to bring it in or leave it the driveway?

A consent form would actually be a huge green flag for me normally because it shows the DM is trying to be mindful of things that the players can't handle for whatever reason (past trauma, for example) to try and keep things fun for everyone.

However, this DM appears to have taken it as a how-to sheet for ousting OP from the party, which for hopefully-obvious reasons is not how that is supposed to be used.

Oh, so that's what happens when teenage girls play DnD together!

I don't even sympathize with the GM about not wanted OP in the campaign though. They reached out to OP FIRST. Then brought in Barb after and proceeded to act as though OP went out of their way to invade Barb's game. TBH Barb and GM sound insufferable.

Murderhouse is a part of the actual module.

The rest is 100% justified to be upset about.

Yeah, the good ending is where you kick Strahd's ass bad enough that he lets you leave Barovia. Even a PC agreeing to be his mate is not enough to stop his incessant bad boy angst. The "giving Strahd an heir" thing was purely the DM's invention.
