The release schedule of Valda's Spire of Secrets is confusing, to say the least.
Not only did we get a seemingly April Fool's-themed pack of the more pop-culture-y & jokey options, but the second one(The Gunslinger) didn't even have all of the subclasses:Gun Tank, Gun-Ko Master, Musketeer & Pistolero are clearly omitted for unknown reasons.
I think, at this point w/Valda's Spire of Secrets, it's at the point where either some clarity is needed on the piecemeal releases, or that the rest of the book should be added all at once.
Valda's is a BIG book, & I know the incentive is to maximize profit from it.
But if it's something akin to Warmage being hard to implement due to Cantrip modification, or Pistolero, Gun-Ko Master & Musketeer Gunslingers possibly being some kind of issue, a little clarification wouldn't hurt, because I'm not the only one who wants the rest of the book on here.
So please:Provide a timetable of what, if any, remaining parts of Valda's Spire of Secrets are coming out(October is coming, & Witch & Necromancer are right there, for example)...and also, if possible, Heliana's Guide Part 2, The Griffon's Saddlebag Parts 1 & 3, & other seemingly "missing" Partnered Content.
Heck, a general Partnered Content timetable would be nice. I'm surely not the only one who liked it when the partners were straight-up announced the first time this was announced post-OGLgate.
The Crooked Moon release being telegraphed was the right way to do these things. A little more telegraphing wouldn't hurt.

Always study & sharpen philosophical razors. They save a lot of trouble.
WOTC and those companies worked out deals for what content would be put up here. Be just as annoyed at Mage Hand Press for the lack of clarity and piecemealing for they agreed to it.
WOTC probably is working constantly on Partner deals and it would be an ever changing, ever coming and going schedule that would be unfeasible to maintain. Most likely non of the partner releases truly have "Dates" to their launch and are more of a "we are now about ready with the coding." Heck if WOTC didn't have actual unmoving book launch dates, we wouldn't really know when the main books would be released (and they would probably be better coded if they didn't have hard deadlines).
3rd party content after the OGL things was announced due to testing the waters and to make consumers happy and forget about the OGL. Now that people expect 3rd party on here there is no real need for WOTC to announce when those things happen, and frankly since it is more like Bonus profit for WOTC it is more on the Partners to get the hype that their content will be on DDB like Ghostfire did with their most recent release (that deal was in place before the kickstarter)

No partnered content is "missing"

It is better to ask the 3rd party on their discord why it's piecemeal and what's coming.
