If you're into tech and D&D, what about 3d printing? It's techy, ties into D&D (printing minis, map elements, etc), and you can get into it for relatively cheap. A cheap resin 3d printer is like $200. You can use a water-washable resin to skip the harsh chemicals, and you can cure it in the sun, skipping a cure station. I have an Anycubic Phonto Mono, which was like $200, and prints some GORGEOUS minis.

As you get deeper and more involved, you can upgrade to a wash & cure station, bigger printers, different resins, etc. You can start by printing other people's designs, then as you learn more, start making and printing your own designs.
