Dang it, what do I do? I told the group I'd let them know by 3 if we'd still be running or not, but as I much as I want to play, it would be a shitty first session.

Draw them. I have never printed out a map before, and instead of tokens I usually use scrap materials, like spare dice, to represent enemies. For map I use a white board to reveal area slowly as they discover it. For prepped dungeons I have it drawn out in a notebook, for spur of the moment dungeons I improvise.
Props are not your game. Your game is in your head, and it is up to you to share it with the players. Be descriptive, and engage the players verbally.

You're done.

Do you really need 6 hours to prep for the session? Now I'm feeling bad about prepping in the half hour I've got before it tomorrow.
