What he said! Remember, a HeroQuest is not just a way of navigating the
peculiar geometry of the Other Side. It is also a way of altering the
Other Side and through it the Mundane World.

And performing the Mass backwards is an element of the Black Mass. A
reversed quest might be a blasphemous parody of the intended effect. Or
it might have the effect of unpicking the bit of the cosmic tapestry the
Quest reinforces.
