The idea is good, but the scans of the stat blocks are too blurry to read, at least to me, for me to use at the table. If the the cards were more clear, this would be excellent for printing off and adding sidekicks to a player.

This is a set of 9 character "tents" to represent the new sidekick NPC in D&D Essentials. Each page has 3 copies of a sidekick type (expert, spellcaster, warrior) and one blank. Each set of 3 sidekick tents are the same (showing the "monster block" pretty much exactly as it is in the Essentials kit.) The only difference is that art is supplied on one side of the tent and both sides show a name (Quinn Hightopple - for example.)

I like the art, it is a sort of muted watercolor style that doesn't scream out at you "THIS IS MY CHARACTER" wich is fitting for an NPC. Included with the set is a zip file of tokens to use along with the tents. These tokens use the same art as the 9 sidekick cards and would import very well into any digital platform (like Roll20, etc...)

A couple of things caught my fancy. Each page has a black sheet (no art or stat block.) It would have been easy to copy the stat block but leave the art blank, thus a player could make a tent, name the NPC and add on some art if they want. On that Since this is a PDF, I don't see the harm in including a second version of it without the names. I might like the art, but want to give my own name to the NPC. It's nice to have suggested names, but I'd rather not be forced into them.

Finally, I see a missed opportunity here to add something beyond just a reformatting of what has gone before. There is value here for the price (spend a small sum so one doesn't have to reformat one's own NPC "tents" but thinking of a higher price point there would be value in adding some additional creative additions. For example, having two seperate stat blocks for the spellcaster - each with explicit lists of the spells available to that version, etc...
