I will be honest, I think I just posted some garbage without thinking about it. I'm scratching my head over and over again with what the hell I was talking about, and I have no idea. Sorry about that.

My biggest problem is that it feels like you're just missing out on so much by predefining how the party will go around punching badguys, which this is DnD, so how you punch badguys is really important. So instead of asking what the player wants to do, and how to get minions, you're saying "robots! Robots everywhere!". Which, robots are cool, but if the PC wants to play a Druid who is against the inevitable march of time, and they all go trying to stop The Big Bad Corporation (TM), it doesn't make sense. Instead you could say that the Druid had various animal friends (bear for tank, wolf for stabby, squirrel for healer) who can get sweet new magic items to buff them up. Or if they're a demonic warlock they could have devils, demons, and reprogrammed angels. Or a thief could have a bruiser, a doctor, and an alchemist. Hell, if they choose to be that weird Iron Man Wizard (called School of Invention), with a mech suit and everything, from Unearthed Arcana, then those robots would make perfect sense no big deal.

I just feel like it would be better to ask the player what they want, and then building the world with them.
