First Time posting a message and I'm sorry if I am asking something that has already been asked but what I am wanting to know when am i allowed to GM a Scenario? Is it the "street" eg. 08-01 Portents Peril on August 4th? or can I begin running the scenario as soon as it has showen in my downloads.
If you could please direct me to the original post if this is a repeat.
Thank you all for your help.
New GM in the making :)
Edited:
I think i may ask some more questions as they come up but in my local town PFS has not picked up much and I have only enough to make one table at a time so far.
Can I run a multi table even (The Cosmic Captive) as a single table? or must I have or more tables of players to run it?

It's not just good form to wait until after the release date to start running Season 8 scenarios, it's mandatory. If we VOs abuse this first-time-ever advance release of scenarios before GenCon so that GMs can prep, then it probably won't happen again. :(
Multi-table specials CANNOT be run as single tables. Each one starting with Year of the Shadow Lodge in Season 2, has its table requirements spelled out either in the description of the scenario or on the first page or two of text in the pdf.

To be very clear, this has nothing to do with being a VO. If any GM provided early access to a scenario runs it early, it will likely ruin it for everybody. VOs are not the only people given early access.

A related, hypothetical, question. If a group of local GMs were somehow all running the same scenario at GenCon and had early access. Would it be acceptable for one of them to run it for the rest before the con as an aid to prep?
to be clear, I'm talking about running a private game for only GMs who already have early access to prep.

A non-official, but I think sensible answer to this is that someone can run it for others that have the scenario, but not for credit. Still gives the effective help of playing the scenario before needing to run it, but doesn't impinge upon the idea that there is a set release date that is after when it was made available to a subset of people.
