Ah, so Phil is one of THOSE players. Can’t let the villain monologue, gotta bash him immediately. While I approve (because I am also one of THOSE players), my DM made a special cardboard sign she put on the table when there was a cutscene in progress that she didn’t want interrupted. Despite the fact that the monologue is the perfect time to slap the boss around.
I’ve always had a simple stance.
“If the players can give monologues about why the bad guy Sucks without an assassin killing them mid-speech, the villain should have the same option.”
you could add cutscene ninjas. any cutscene they skip causes a cutscene ninja that will try and assinate them when the player starts monologuing in their own ‘cut scene’.
-is totally going to add cutscene ninjas to the next session I DM-

Disjunction eh? Pulling out the big guns early.
