It's very strange you didn't see these before, but maybe you didn't get
(m)any of those earlier characters very far? Crawl has a nice variety of
dungeon layouts and at least three types of walls in the main dungeon
(stone, rock, metal).

Can someone tell me if there is any non-cosmetic difference between rock
and stone?
