Susan Arendt is the Executive Editor of The Escapist Magazine, a job which among many other duties includes: overseeing the news team, fielding pitches, communicating with her army of freelancers all over the world and if she has time, write an article or two and interact with the ever-growing Escapist online community.
The Escapist has been huge supporter of Desert Bus since 2010 and Susan has been big reason for that. We are excited to welcome Susan back this year.

Pika went home so I shall thank you for allowing us to create Cahtzee I am glad he didn’t murder you for it. If we wish to help with the con next year what is the best way to do that?
Dear Dr. Susan,
Love the escapist podcast and you’re game reviews. Question is what do you think about educational games for kids or for higher learning. Is there a way for games to be educational for younger children and still be good games that their parents can enjoy with them. Alternatively how do you think a game designed for educational purposes for high school and college level students would have to play and act. Appreciate everything you do hope this gets asked and that I can watch it, at psychiatrist appointment at the moment getting things taken care of here. Tons of fan love jake.
Dear Dr. Susan:
What do you have to say about the rumor that The Escapist could be bought for a sufficient number of Corgis?
Also, please tell us more about Cat Burp. With such a name, their adventures must be the stuff of legends.
Pika went home so I shall thank you for allowing us to create Cahtzee I am glad he didn’t murder you for it though by the look on his face he really wanted to. If we wish to help with the con next year what is the best way to do that?
How do you decide what stories to write, and how do you decide who writes what? (Is there a pecking order?)
Dear Doctor Susan,
What is the game you would like to see made most of all? As in, what would it be about, how would it play, what genres would inspire it, would it be a continuation of another series, and so forth.
Thanks!
Hello, Dr. Susan!

Dear Dr. Arendt,
I didn’t know you were a doctor until everyone in the chat started calling you “Dr. Susan.” What do you have a doctorate in, out of curiosity?
Thanks for allowing Pika to create Cahtzee at the Escapist Expo!
Have you ever considered arranging a collaboration between Yahtzee and Jim Sterling to see if you can make the internet burst into flame from ridicule?
Dear Dr. Susan,
Do you regularly play Humans vs. Zombies at the Escapist Offices?
Dear Susan
Pirates or Ninjas?
is it true that otters hold hands when they sleep so they dont float away from eachother?
Would you rather fight a horse-sized ant or 1000 ant-sized horses?
