I tried running one game with no graphics, and the players started drawing things out on the map anyway :) You'd probably better served by just using google hangouts, I know there's a whiteboard & dice tools. I usually use roll20 & G+ Hangouts anyway as the voice & other tools are far better on hangouts and roll20 integrates well with Hangouts. - Justisuar
