Hi there -

You might be able to nick some useful bits from Zak Arntson: http://www.harlekin-maus.com/games/fungeon/fungeon.html .

I don't know if this would work for what you had in mind, but have you thought that it might be fun if, rather than drawing something, and then getting to interpret what it is, you draw something, and then the next player interprets what it is.  I know that playing "pictionary", there's always a lot of laughs when someone's drawing what to them looks EXACTLY like a tiger, and the other players are like "goose!" "ummm, clock!".  Also, there's more room for the "cheeky" factor, when someone draws something that's pretty clearly one thing, but you can interpret it as something else, e.g. Player One:*draws an awesome looking dragon* Player Two: "Allright! Look at this cool golden dragon statue I found!"

Man this takes me back to my very first roleplaying experiences (ok, technically, my second as my first was a free form rail road where my character got chopped into bits by the other player cuz they were bored...but I digress).

Back in my elementary school days we were way into mazes.  We'd draw truly heinous mind bending mazes that would span across sheets of giant draftsman paper with psychedelic swirls of tiny little hallways.  Then we'd challenge each other to see who could get through it fastest.

Once we discovered roleplaying, we started drawing little iconic pictures in the maze.  If your path crossed one of these icons then "roleplaying happened" which basically meant taking time out to fight the orc or the skeleton or the dragon or whatever other doodle was drawn on the map.

I can still remember the wierd little arguements -- "ok now I gotta fight the goblin"..."dude that's a minotaur, you gotta fight a minotaur"..."minotaur! no way, its got pointy ears like a goblin"..."dude those are horns"..."you suck as an drawer those totally aren't horns"... heh.
