==Contents==
''Guide to Hell'' is a supplement which presents to players new [spells](/source/Magic_of_Dungeons_%26_Dragons), [magic items](/source/Magic_item_(Dungeons_%26_Dragons)), character class kits, and the new half devil/half human race of devilkin.<ref name="Pyramid"/> Chapter One offers a new turning table that [clerics](/source/Cleric_(Dungeons_%26_Dragons)) and [paladins](/source/Paladin_(Dungeons_%26_Dragons)) can use for turning [devils](/source/Devil_(Dungeons_%26_Dragons)). A short section titled "The Cults" demonstrates how devils use humans as tools in their schemes, and a scenario titled "Invasion" shows devils invade the [Prime Material Plane](/source/Prime_Material_Plane).<ref name="Pyramid"/>

==Publication history==
''Guide to Hell'' was published by [TSR](/source/TSR%2C_Inc.) and written by [Chris Pramas](/source/Chris_Pramas).<ref name="Pyramid"/>

==Reception==
''Guide to Hell'' was reviewed by the online version of ''[Pyramid](/source/Pyramid_(magazine))'' on November 19, 1999.<ref name="Pyramid">[http://www.sjgames.com/pyramid/sample.html?id=1230 Pyramid Review]</ref> The reviewer considered this book "a giant rehash that still fails to capture what was in the old articles of Dragon magazine", specifically naming [Ed Greenwood](/source/Ed_Greenwood)'s "The Nine Hells Part I and II" from ''[Dragon](/source/Dragon_(magazine))'' #75 and #76 and "The Nine Hells Revisited" from ''Dragon'' #91, calling them "classics that provided vast amounts of information. The page total on these three articles alone is close to 30 pages. Throw in other articles like "Eight Devilish Questions," (#91) by Ed Greenwood, and "The Lords of the Nine" (#223) by Colin McComb, and you've almost got more pages than the new ''Guide to Hell'' has."<ref name="Pyramid"/> The reviewer did say that for anyone who does not own those back issues or the ''[Dragon Magazine Archive](/source/Dragon_Magazine_Archive)'', "the ''Guide to Hell'' offers very modular chapters that should be easy to put in most campaigns", and that the information in Chapter One should "give inexperienced DMs some ideas for devils in their games".<ref name="Pyramid"/>
