POTD: 15x15 with lots of checkers

This is my first time setting a cryptic so I wanted to make it easier to solve than to set so there's a few design choices to aid with that.

I've had help from archel_uk, jackhkeynes, go_and away_im_sleeping (who I know from various twitch crossword streamers and crossword discords) who have each helped tighten/re-write a clue each, so it should pass muster.

I'm incredibly happy with some of the clues, because they're delightfully fun, so I hope you enjoy it.

Maybe give it a go and let me know if you have any feedback.

Enjoy!

I'm glad you had fun!

Hopefully it wasn't too taxing - I figured it was best as a new setter to make it harder to set and easier to solve than the inverse.
