** The Boom Gun railgun of the famous Glitterboy shoots projectiles at Mach 5, around 1700 meters per second. The Main Gun on the [=M1A2=] Abrams has a muzzle velocity of 1,580 to 1,750 meters/second. Real Life railguns in testing have a muzzle velocity of 5700 meters per second. This is, however, much better than the performance of the weapon in the earliest editions of the game, which clocked the Boom Gun's muzzle velocity at Mach 2.

* WordOfGod: System creator Kevin Siembeda enjoys his ability to state what is and isn't canon. He isn't like a lot of other RPG authors who suggest the GM should do whatever they please: the books contain notes and pointers on what to do as footnotes.

** Dimension Book 9: ''United Worlds of Warlock'' was advertised and even has a cover published, but was last talked about in ''2008'' by the writer, who claimed that Kevin S had accepted his pitch. The book has never materialized, and instead the line went right to Dimension Book 10: ''Hades: Pits of Hell'' and then to 11 and higher without ever touching on the ninth book again.

* ScheduleSlip: Palladium is very, very bad about this. As an example, ''World Book 12: Psyscape'' ended up being released after World Books 13-16, about two years after its initially announced release date, and this is on the lower end of the schedule slip scale; on the upper end there is the Lemuria World Book, meant to be a companion to ''Rifts Underseas''; while ''Underseas'' is World Book 7 and was released c. 1994, ''Lemuria'' is World Book '''''32''''' and was released c. 2012, almost 2 decades later. And this is without considering books like ''Mystic Japan'' and ''Mystic Australia'', which so far haven't materialized (in ''Japan'''s case the wait has been even longer than for ''Lemuria'') and are pretty much the TTRPG equivalent of vaporware.

Later reprints removed specific capabilities on the computers and had it state that they are simply a lot better than the ones that are used currently.

* FanworkBan: One of the most notorious ones in the RPG industry. [[WordOfGod KS]] forbids people from converting RIFTS to other settings and publishing the rules anywhere, and makes legal threats against people who do publish them. (Fortunately, Palladium doesn't have the resources to follow through.)
