Galatune is an anime battle tabletop card game set on the fantasy planet of Lyra. The United World Government maintains peace and prosperity through the monopoly of advanced ancient technologies, but utopia comes at a steep cost. Will you join with the government to protect unity, or will you join the rebels and fight for freedom and independence?

Noxgear – It’s dark outside and all you want is to hit the road for some well-deserved miles. For safety, you are supposed to wear a bulky and uncomfortable safety vest so that light reflects off of you and the local drivers know you are there. Ditch the vest and invest in the products sold by Noxgear. Paired with high quality 3M reflective materials the Tracer360 is the perfect, lightweight replacement for your bulky and uncomfortable safety vest. Wear it over a t-shirt to hit the road and avoid the heat on summer nights or over your favorite high visibility running jacket in the fall and winter. The Tracer360 is an essential addition to your cold weather running gear or cycling gear. They even sell one for your dog, if you like to take Fido for a run with you.
Regardless of who you are buying for this holiday season, there are plenty of gifts available for you and yours! By buying from the local home-grown companies you are really contributing to the local economy. Check them out and have a wonderful holiday from all of us at DTG!
