Hello readers and welcome once again to Shoot the Rookie. This is my first proper post of the year and this one has been inspired by a post-christmas lurgy which kept me off work for a few days last week. Cheery huh? It’s ok because I’m all better now, but I thought it would be fun to write up my gaming exploits from my time off. Continue reading “Sick Day Gaming”
