Disclosure Policy

  1. Products which are reviewed or endorsed on this site (www.paperspencils.com) are most commonly acquired at my (Nick LS Whelan’s) own expense. Any products provided for review purposes will be disclosed. Free products will not necessarily result in a positive review or endorsement.
  2. If something is reviewed or endorsed by this site, it is because I legitimately feel that it is relevant to this site’s readership.

  4. Any other site promoted within the content of this site’s posts will be a site which is relevant to my readership. I receive no monetary compensation for doing so.
  5. In the event that advertisements ever do appear on this site, they will be clearly marked as such.
  6. Images used on this site are most often pulled from my personal collection of images saved over the years, or from Google Image Search.

Comment Policy

  1. I have a low tolerance for hate speech, trolling, flaming, and off-topic posting. By all means, engage in spirited argument, but this is not a “free speech zone.”
  2. Do not post any content that is illegal, or violates copyright. This includes, but is not limited to, links to downloads of RPG sourcebooks.
  3. You may post links which are relevant, but I will delete anything that seems like spam to me.
  4. I reserve the right to moderate, delete, or change any content within a comment as I see fit at any time for no reason. I’ve never had to do this, but I will if I deem it appropriate to do so.
  5. I am not responsible or liable for the content of any comment on this blog which is not specifically signed by me.
  6. By commenting on Papers & Pencils, you grant me (Nick LS Whelan) license to reproduce your comment, in full or in part, on this site or elsewhere.
