I can't wait for more MAUD PIE. Too bad this hiatus is hell or I'd be more excited for more MAUD PIE. You should all go tell your friends to come here and suggest stuff for us to do while we wait. Calpain said he was going to do the friendoff thing, and Phoe might join him for the Artist Training grounds, but we need more to survive! THRIVE!
And get your roundup stuff below as always.

Friendship is Dragons 3 Year Anniversary
Friendship is Dragons, the D&D/MLP webcomic in the same style as DM of the Rings and Darths and Droids, has been updating every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday for the last three years as of yesterday, July 28th. In that time, it's spawned a d20 system and a podcast, introduced many people to both MLP and tabletop gaming in general, and has otherwise served as common ground for the pony RPG niche community.

Successful Meetups

Ocean Beach Meetup in San Francisco
Ed Prins-Stairs here. I would have submitted this photo a week ago when the meet up actually happened, but I was suffering from a severe sunburn and wanted to rest and recover first. Anyway, this July 26th meet up was at Ocean Beach in San Francisco and we all had a great time despite the sunburns. Also, the guy in the cowboy hat is A.J. Gutierrez, one of the animators of Zachery Rich's Double Rainboom and TrueTail, director of the opening ceremonies animation for BABScon 2014, and a good friend of mine along with many others there.
