It looks like you are not very familiar with "simple & light" roleplaying games.
ALL the RPGs of that kind that I've ever read, assumed that the GM "would be pulling numbers out of his ass".
It's just how these games works; rules-lightness
require fudging by the GM.
Detailed, complete games require lots of pages.
If you know any game which is really simple (e.g., 32 pages)
yet complete and detailed, please tell me which game it is!
I will happily stop playing GURPS and use this "magical" game instead.

But GURPS Lite and standard GURPS don't even use the same mechanics, so, tell me, what the hell is the point?

Frosty, I apologize if I was somewhat adversarial and I couldn't help you. Best wishes for your campaign.]
