[QUOTE="defendi, post: 6790934, member: 53467"] Hello. I've been googling for about an hour and I can't find anything that exactly fits my needs. I'm running the occasional game for some young, first-time D&D players in 5e (A longtime friend's son asked to play D&D for Christmas, so I put a game together for the friend (Dad) and his 17 year old, 14 year old, and the 12 year old).
