Other than that, like a few others, I would absolutely love to see Mage Hand Press get the classes and subclasses from "Valda's Spire of Secrets". The source book is good generally but the classes and subclasses are great.
If I recall correctly Valda's Spire of Secrets has ~ 10 new classes and well over 100 subclasses. As cool as that would be to see implemented my guess is WotC is not selling enough 3rd party content to justify the work to integrate all that into the DDB character creation and management tools. Something like the Illrigger (a single class, 4-6 subclasses) seems more manageable for future implementation, though I'd love to be wrong about that and see something really broad in scope added.
So we’ve now got MCDM’s Illrigger class, the Lord of the Rings book with its half a dozen specific classes and the Ghostfire Podcast just confirmed their Monster Hunter class will be coming in the future once the Grim Hollow Revisited Kickstarter is fulfilled. I think it’s fair to say that new classes is no longer a bridge DDB is unwilling to cross
Coming Late to the Party but I would kill for Helianas Guide to get implemented. The subclasses are really fun, but the items and the mechanics are just a pure chefs kiss imo
I still want a proper roadmap for what's coming that shows *exactly* what's coming.
Doubt we’ll ever get that. From things that have been said from the other side of the deal by staff on the Ghostfire and Dungeon Dudes Discord groups the process of adding third party stuff is very messy, lots of DDB staff going backwards and forwards and suddenly putting stuff on pause based on the sites main features taking priority. Even the Dungeon Dudes themselves say they don’t know if or when their second book is getting added.
Also a lot of the upcoming third party stuff is still going through kickstarter fulfilment so in the other direction DDB can’t announce dates for that in case the kickstarter gets delayed. Announcing a series of dates does nothing except give people reasons to complain when it doesn’t happen on time
I do wish we had some idea of what may be coming instead of it seemingly coming out of nowhere like Obojima like- it's still officially for pre-order on their site (well physically) and it's already on DnD Beyond. Just because it's like- you literally never know then whether to buy a 3rd party book when you see it or just expect it might end up on DnD Beyond Dr. Dhrolin's Dictionary of Dinosaurs is the biggest example that comes to mind in relation to the Obojima book. Because the company that did Dr. Dhrolin's just launched a KS for a second book that blasted it's goals, much kind of like Obojima did not too long ago so it's like- shit do I even bother buying the first book now from them? Or just like wait now because it's not crazy to think WOTC is eyeing it given the KS success and given they just added another major KS success before it seems that the physical book has even launched.
Anyways, yeah I'd like to see Dr. Dhrolin's get added same goes for the second book in the series whose title I can't recall, because a mechanic to dig up fossils sounds fun as hell.
One again, I know they have said they're not up for it, but IO Publishing & Legends of Avantris are worth pursuing as partners. I'm warming up to The Stinky Dragon Podcast as well.
Likewise:C'mon, work with Runesmith. Snubbing him was bad form, & Stibbles's Codex of Companions is a good book.

Once made Maxwell's Silver Hammer come down upon Strahd's head to make sure he was dead.
Always study & sharpen philosophical razors. They save a lot of trouble.
What did they do to Runesmith? I thought his stuff was a pretty strong possibility considering it's published by Ghostfire (who DDB seem to get on really well with) and he doesn't use a lot of complex homebrew mechanics
WHY SLAY DRAGONS WHEN YOU CAN GO FISHING? + FIENDISH FORGE, STIBBLES'S CODEX OF COMPANIONS, HUMBLEWOOD:BEYOND THE CANOPY, THE QUEST-O-NOMICON, & RYOKO'S GUIDE TO THE YOKAI REALMS NEXT, PLEASE!
(Pardon the caps, I got excited)

Not really sure that this counts as 3rd party, but what about Adventures League materials?

I would love to see Inferno: Dantes Guide to hell be added. I'm a massive fan and would buy it up so fast
how about some modern or cyberpunk source material?
Ryoko's Guide to the Yokai Realms fur sure!
Capes and Crooks would be a fun super hero option.

He's said in his videos that his material was rejected.
