Not every RPGA scenario is allowed for every type of event; when a scenario isn't allowed for a certain type of event (as in this case), they put the retirement date in the past.
My issue is I am trying to do it right... I am having a game day at the Public Library and would like to run this mod but I guess I can't.
Get your mail sent to the library and sleep there a few nights, that oughta count for "home" ;)
I have it ordered for a home game without problem. I do have a question however, since it takes more than one session to play how does one report that game? Do I do it one time for all my players at the kickoff or conclusion, or do I request it for each session we meet?
As a rule of thumb you report a module when it's complete (since players listed for playing that module won't be able to play that module again). So even though it will take you more than a standard session to play, you can only officially get credit for playing through the adventure one time (regardless of how many times you meet to play it).
Well there are a bunch of homeless guys that sleep outside the library maybe I can count it as their home.
Now you're thinking.

You can count the library as retail. The issue with allowing gigantic adventures orderable at conventions and game days is that they aren't usually appropriate for that type of an event. For example, Keep on the Shadowfell takes most groups between 8-16 hours to finish.
The other reason they're not usually appropriate for game days and conventions is that those events usually have "slots" or scheduled periods of play time. Because longer adventures aren't written for a time element, the amount of time spent playing is highly variable. One group could be finished many hours before another one, which creates problems with anticipating a schedule.
Retail play right now assumes basically home game play in a public place. Eventually, the ordering category will be changed to more accurately reflect the fact that there are folks that play their home games in public venues outside of retail stores.

I thought as much, thanks for confirming.
