I would like to see a series, one day, where the setting is something like a library, or other fixed space, where the people inside are absolutely influencing how the world-spanning adventure goes on our there, but the narrative of the work never follows the people outside on their quest. At best, what they do is get progress on what happens outside by news retorts or otherwise. The kind of story that is about all those NPCs who deliver key information to the PCs and then, presumably, go on with their lives, possibly without knowing until a much later date that what they did turned out to be essential to the whole operation.
