Added DiffLines:

* Several musicals have what could be considered "Lower Deck '''Numbers'''," musical scenes performed by supporting characters that can be rather disconnected from the rest of the plot, depending on how deftly they're incorporated. Often they are there to serve a utilitarian purpose: often giving the leads a brief period to rest either immediately before or after a particularly grueling number.

[[folder: Tabletop Games]]
* Pretty much all the ''TabletopGame/WarhammerAgeOfSigmar'' and ''TabletopGame/Warhammer40000'' novels not part of ''Literature/TheHorusHeresy'' or focusing on a major named character will be this: there are dozens of novels following a cast of one-off characters completely disconnected from the massive, setting-altering storylines that are usually happening at any given time, involved in a relatively low-stakes conflict in some minor corner of the galaxy or Mortal Realms. Both settings run on the idea that there are thousands of small-scale wars happening all the time, with character who aren't realm-shaking champions or legendary heroes or villains, and the novels about those conflicts will be this trope by default.
