[Dungeon Fantasy] The Wilderness of Hell

This means you could use it with everything from DFRPG or Monster Hunters. You could even use it with GURPS Locations: Hellsgate. Or maybe occultists from Reich-5 could summon something nasty from this hell in the Bavarian Alps (Think Castle Wolfenstein / Doom / Hellboy).

Elements of this appeared in AD&D1'a Deities and Demigods where many evil races want to go to Hell because, for them, it is heaven.

For example, the armies of Gruumsh (Orc deity) and Maglubiyet (Goblin and hobgoblin deity) engage in constant war akin to a distorted version of the Norse heaven Valhalla.

The followers of each deity claim the other is constantly defeated in these battles.

If you include various articles in Dragon magazine the Outer Planes (effectively the afterlife for most races of the Prime Material Plane) and the beings that inhabit them are the most fleshed out heavens and hells around,

Hell should resemble a cube farm where the boss is a jerk but always thinks you should be friends after work.
