I've run a few games there, it can require a bit of prep, well as much as you want to do. I looked at Roll20 but it still was more complicated than I liked. Personally, I'd be happy with just a virtual shared whiteboard that I could draw on as necessary combined with a chat (text/voice/video) client. My campaigns have never been that fussy with exact placements and distances anyway, so having everything plotted down to the inch isn't necessary. A whiteboard with let us all keep track of general location of PCs and monsters in combat, and let me sketch out the general shape of the map as necessary. It helps that we don't use "hey look, we're a miniatures game, no wait we're an MMORPG" 4th edition D&D ;-)
