I think you got the idea exactly right! Clue, translated to a classic dungeon, that's a cool idea.
I am not sure whether I got it right...
(if not please tell me. - Then again I like the idea and I am probably going to finish this map anyway.)
What I am going to change:
Hall - entrance hall
Study - evil laboratory
Library- ancient library
Billiard Room - Torture Chamber
Conservatory - Plant / Mushroom Cave
Ball Room - Tomb / Shrine
Kitchen - Treasury ?
Dining Room - Monster's den ?
Lounge - Dungeon
Candleholder - candle-golem
Dagger - drow assassin
Rope - ghost (with ropes)
Wrench - ?
Lead pipe - animated armor
Gun - evil wizzard ?
The hallways, as you can see, are going to be more dungeony.

That is an AMAZING idea.
Yeah, wish I had thought of that!
Instead of replacing the GUN with an evil wizard, just replace it with a Staff or, even better, a Wand of Magic Missiles.

Feels great to get that kind of feedback!
@Bogie: Those are great ideas (that I will use), but weapons are too small for my taste, to fit on the map. Instead I will try to use monsters and rooms.
My plan was to sketch in Illustrator (check) to then draw an isometric map. That is way more work than I expected, but I have time (and enjoy doing this a lot).
This is my first try to draw an isometric map so I expect a lot of erasing and drawing again.

Great Idea! I'm looking forward to seeing what you do with it!
My first tile! This might not seem like it, but because I am very new to drawing on the computer (with a tablet), this is a great success!
Inspiration: A mix of "The Fantasy Artist's Figure Drawing Bible" by Matt Dixon and Djekspek's tutorial on how to draw an ice-wall symbol.

The wrench could be some kind of evil gnome machinist, or a mechanical trap.
Great start and I love the idea!
I'm really looking forward to seeing this progress, I love using Illustrator and you are doing some great things with it. Is the tile pure Illustrator?
And the idea is just spot on, I love it. Out of curiosity, does anyone know the game Kill Dr. Lucky? I remember it when it was a paper envelope game from Cheapass Games, but apparently it's been published by others in a premium format since. The object (on a very Clue-like board) is to get Dr. Lucky alone in a room that no one else can see into and then use some dire weapon (like A Loud Noise or A Tight Hat) to take him out.
Anyway, keep going, I'm really diggin' this.
cheers,
Meshon
